Bikepacking Japan - Tokyo to Kyoto

แชร์
ฝัง
  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 พ.ย. 2018
  • I rode from Tokyo to Kyoto with two friends.
    Start: 17th Sep 2018
    End: 1st Oct 2018.
    Our Route: goo.gl/xkUJ8K (follow this at your own risk! We didn't really plan it.. there is probably a far better route with less crazy tunnels).
    Tunes: goo.gl/xhKUZz

    Just wanted to come back and thank you guys for making this video. This inspired me to get into bikepacking and I just got back from my first trip where I did 1000 miles across Japan. You guys lit a fire in me and helped create a new passion that I'll take with me my entire life. Thanks so much

    There's so much food everywhere in japan that you would never have to prepare your food if you didn't want to. And Japanese sandwiches/ sandos are the best thing on earth. Loved the video.

      dogbutts5000 haha! I agree. Hardly ever talk in my videos for this exact reason. Maybe one day if I have something important to say. This was shot on a go pro 6 attached to my handle bars. The image stabilization is amazing. Japanese roads are also very smooth 😉

      @@JohnBr0 I agree on the blabbing in general but some babbling is ok, actually great for the video if you do it right. Also you guys seemed to have some really fun moments and a great vibe in general. Would have been nice to include some of those moments providing some variation to the music at the same time. The music has to be amazing not to get tiring at some point. Loved it anyway 👍

And looking at your map I see you went up by Lake Okutamako which is one of my favorite go to places - I thought I recognized the video footage. Kudos to you all!
